A network single camera comedy about 3 interlocking families. Hmm, where have I seen that before… No, I think it’s an original idea. Well, done all!

Rob Thomas hasn’t had an original idea in years.

Interesting… Party Down was a great show, one that really deserved more longevity. Veronica Mars was uneven, but had its moments.

Hopefully this show does well.

I don’t care what this team does, they always do something interesting. Good for rob and his cohorts, as a viewer I want more from them.

Rob is one of the good ones, both in writing talent and in menschiness as a boss and showrunner.

Clearly you never actually worked for him.

Party Down and the original Cupid will always be a tv classic, but I’m nervous about Fox handling this program . Fox doesn’t not have a stellar reputation for nuturing and supporting quality television programs.
